Responding to Freddie’s apology
Dear Editor,
Please permit me to respond to Fredrick Kissoon’s letter “Freddie Kissoon apologies to Donald Ramotar” in the KN October 16, 2015. I tried very hard to follow what this man is trying to say in the first part and then in the last few lines of his letter. I think he wants me to understand that I made a grammatical mistake, that his use of the word “transport” is correct, and that when other important political figures in other parts of world make mistakes they are also criticized in the same way he criticized Donald Ramotar. He does not get. I will put my point or message in a different way. When someone lives in a glass house he or she cannot afford to throw to stones at others.
What shocks me the most about Kissoon’s letter is his apology to Donald Ramotar. I do not think anyone forced him to do so. I think it is genuine. I can feel it. This is BIG, and let me repeat, BiG of you Mr. Kissoon to offer an apology to Mr. Donald Ramotar. I do hope he accepts your apology. You are a step ahead. The entire nation is waiting for an apology from the 50 percent regime. Now, what you should to do next might be very difficult. But you CAN DO IT. I do not expect you to go down on your knees with a bouquet of flowers in your hands on the doorstep at Freedom House begging for forgiveness. You should never do that. But I do expect you to offer an apology for calling some people “Indian Supremacists”. I will do the same if so needed.
